Wednesday March 2
Pisces New Moon + Venus, Mars, Pluto Align

March 2022 asks us to take the lead, step into the driver’s seat, and get things done! March is the only month of 2022 where we have zero major planets in retrograde. This means the month brings us some bold, fast, forward-moving energy that can help us push past our fears and take action on the things that we really want to do.
Jupiter, the planet of abundance and expansion is very active under this New Moon, which may heighten our emotions. The nice thing about Jupiter’s energy however is that it also allows us to see the silver lining and to focus on those more feel-good emotions. At the time of this New Moon, Venus, Mars, and Pluto will also be in alignment in Capricorn. This rare combination of planetary energy will color the energies we feel around this New Moon. We may notice a focus around our relationships or power struggles in our lives.  More to read at: https://foreverconscious.com/intuitive-astrology-forecast-for-march-2022

Mediumship with Family Ties
Hi, everyone.  This Thursday night at 7:30 pm on Zoom, we will be working on mediumship involving several members of a family.  The family members may be those who have crossed over or a combination of those who have crossed over and those still living.

Spiritual Healing Requests
==================================================
Spirit healings result from law-governed forces being put into operation following the sending forth of a thought directive (prayer). Spirit guides and doctors will diagnose the trouble and its cause, attention being directed to overcoming the cause, and then removing the symptoms.
Please set time aside each day to send healing thoughts for each of those listed below, that they may receive from Spirit that which is for their highest and best needs.
Your healing prayers are needed and benefit others in ways we may never know.

Prayer for Spiritual Healing
I ask the Great Unseen Healing Force
To remove all obstructions 
From my mind and body 
And to restore me to perfect health.
I ask this in all sincerity and honesty
And I will do my part.

I ask this Great Unseen Healing Force
To help both present and absent ones
Who are in need of help
And to restore them to perfect health.
I put my trust and love in the power of God.

Prayer for Ukraine ... by Marianne Williamson
Dear God,
Please send miracles
to the people of Ukraine.
Send angels to minister unto them.
Bring calm and peace to their frightened hearts.
Awaken in Vladimir Putin
the truth of who we are.
Soften his heart and remind him of his soul.
Please God, may there be peace.
Amen
